L’Union pour la Méditerranée (UpM) est une organisation intergouvernementale fondée en 2008 qui regroupe 43 pays. Basée sur une co-présidence entre les rives sud et nord de la mer Méditerranée, l’UpM qui se situe dans le prolongement du processus de Barcelone a pour principal objectif de promouvoir le dialogue et la coopération dans la région euro-méditerranéenne. Inspirée du processus communautaire européen et réunissant exclusivement les pays riverains de la Méditerranée dans l’objectif de construire un destin commun, son bilan parait assez mitigé, dans un monde en proie à d’importantes recompositions et reconfigurations. Nous avons posé la question à Abdelkader EL KHISSASSI, Secrétaire général adjoint de l’UpM.

    Energy markets have experienced significant disruptions since the outbreak of COVID-19. In late 2021, soaring natural gas prices triggered a new crisis, leading to risks of energy supply shortages worldwide and propelling the issue of energy security to the forefront. Africa will not be spared the repercussions of this crisis, which could further increase energy inequality, which is in turn linked to other forms of inequality. Indeed, in a context of persistent inflation, the lack o ...

    COVID-19 has ravaged nearly every country in the world, with the globalization of recent decades intensifying its spread. As of mid-2021, the world had spent $16.5 trillion—18% of global GDP—to fight the disease. And that amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this spending was by developed economies, with the rest by emerging market and developing eco ...

    His message was one of reassurance, just as a great leader has to react in a crisis. The concerns about Covid 19 was nothing but “a frenzy and psychosis”. The President knew the secret to defeat the virus: vodka, sauna, tractor. Didn’t a US president named Donald Trump suggest  that toilet cleaning disinfectants chase the virus out of infected lungs on national television? (New York Times, April 24, 2020) That was Trump-speak, sure, but the man who uttered the tractor/vodka/nonsense ...

    We examine the effects of trade on youth labor force participation and unemployment rates by performing fixed-effects and Arellano-Bond GMM estimations on data from 89 developing and emerging economies from 1990 to 2018. The empirical results suggest that trade openness has U-shaped effects on youth labor force participation rates, with negative impacts at low-to-moderate levels of trade and positive but minor effects at relatively high levels of trade. Except for Latin America, the ...
